Doodle Kart Life: For anyone who enjoyed the racing games for the original Nintendo gaming system, Doodle Kart Life should be at the top of their list.

It makes the user aware that it is not the detail of the graphics, but the quality of the game that makes it so enticing. The driver has numerous options when it comes to controlling the car: speed, acceleration, weight, items. Also, like the tried and true Mario Kart, weapons can be used to take down opponents. For a classic touch to a modern device, check out Doodle Kart Lite.

Doodle Jump: If an addicting game is what youre looking for, Doodle Jump is the ticket. It is the players duty to guide an imaginary four-legged creature, affectionately dubbed the Doodler, up a never ending series of platforms without failing. There is no end. You cannot beat the game. You only try to beat your high score. Guide Doodler to a safe spot, hopefully avoiding monsters, UFOs, and black holes in rainforest, jungle, or space themed adventures.

Doodle Army: Despite the serious connotation with the word army, a sense of humor must be had to enjoy Doodle Army. However, a long attention span is not needed.

Glow Doodle: This application could almost be called a modern day light bright. It is simple, colorful, and quickly gaining the popularity it deserves. A mere six neon colors are at your disposal, and unfortunately, no eraser. Yet the artistically challenged need not fear; there is an undo button for quick fixes. The bright colors are used to draw and doodle on a pitch black background for the greatest contrast. After your picture is complete (or earlier if you would like to sneak a peek), tap the glow button and watch your doodle illuminate with life. The newest version even has the option to illuminate certain parts while others remain dull. The best part is, you can save the pictures as wallpaper or send them to friends.

Swakker Doodle: Swakker Doodle may just be the most high tech of all the doodle applications out there. You can simply doodle on a blank page with the option of over 50 colors, or you can doodle to your hearts delight on an existing photo or one of the apps many backgrounds. Like a real artist, choose from fine or broad thicknesses, and grab the eraser when needed. Then you can kick it up a notch. Invite a friend, whether they are connected to Swakker Doodle or not, to join with you. The two or more separate screens will display the same picture with the same added doodles. When the fun is over, save the masterpiece to your library to remember the good time you shared with your long distance friends.
